Why freight insurance and risk cover matters on the Lux S
Cover should start at the factory gate rather than at the port of loading.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on freight insurance and risk cover it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Declared value needs to match the commercial invoice or claims are reduced proportionally.
